T (by her litigation friend the Official Solicitor) v BBC


Issue

(1) Whether the court was required to determine as a preliminary matter whether broadcast would be in T’s best interests;

(2) Whether, in assessing the potential violation of T’s Article 8 rights, the court was required to predict outcomes in order to quantify the risks to T’s welfare which would arise from broadcast;

(3) Whether the invasion of T’s privacy outweighed the invasion of the BBC’s Article 10 rights an injunction would represent.
